I have a nice wife, a nice fief too, a castle on a hill with a magnificent view. I have fertile lands, and villages that thrive, hundreds of troops who somehow stay alive. My coffers are heavy, my warband is fed, my enemies see my banner and occasionally drop dead. I have horses and armor, silver and grain, a hall full of nobles complaining again. By every measure, I’ve won at this game. I’ve conquered, grown wealthy, and built up my name. Yet I stand on my battlements when the campaigning is done, watching the mountains fade with the sun. My wife is beside me. My kingdom is strong. My vaults overflow. But something feels wrong. I’ve everything a lord could possibly acquire… Maybe what’s missing another fief to desire. submitted by /u/t-o-m-u-s-a [link] [comments]
Are you playing Viking Conquest? If so, you will probably enjoy Bernard Cornwell's "The Saxon Stories."
I had set aside the game some months ago, but I feel compelled to get back into it now that I've started this series of novels. The characters frequently make reference to towns and rivers and peoples that appear on the Viking Conquest map. It's great fun to recognize them and have some context, too.
